I think EB has been inspired by the success of ED and Anastasia in Moscow! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Her next opponent is Hrdlickova.

UDACHI, ELENA! Join the fun of the Winning Russian Ladies!

The other 2 Russians in the qualy draw are in the same quarter as each other, unfortunately.

TATIANA PANOVA is seeded 2nd and faces Karina Habsudova

NADIA PETROVA is seeded 5th and faces Anca Barna

Will Elena D. play here? She is on th list, but she is having so many problems with that shoulder! Maybe she should rest it instead of play right away again. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

The BAD news: Elena Dementieva has indeed pulled out of Filderstadt. <IMG SRC="smilies/sad.gif" border="0">

I hope she will be ready to go in Zurich!

The GOOD news: TATIANA PANOVA won 1st-round qualy match over Habsudova 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Glad Elena is resting her shoulder.

This week's performance should guarantee her place in Munich as she is 200 pts clear.

Well done Tatiana <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Hopefully Anna can win her 1st match here <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

and go Elena L <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

[auntie janie]

Panova lost to Oremans 3-6 . 6-7

So there are three in the Main Draw: Anna K (whom I don't root for), Elena B. and Elena Likhotseva to carry the "Russian Roulette" torch!

Today's Good and Bad News:

TATIANA PANOVA!!! bested Amada Coetzer 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the "battle of the tiny people". Way to fight back, Tatiana! : <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

BUT:

Elena Likhotseva - out in the first round to Anke Huber. <IMG SRC="smilies/sad.gif" border="0">

[auntie janie]

Elena Bovina bites the dust, but not a bad showing for her here.

SO we are already down to ANNA K. and TATIANA in Filderstadt!
